As revealed in i in January, Benfica’s Darwin Nunez is a prime target for the Magpies. They were quoted around £50million for the player in January but it may now take closer to £60million to lure the Manchester United target from the Stadium of Light.

 

Newcastle also have an agreement with Aston Villa over Matty Targett, who has impressed on loan, and hope to return for Lille’s Sven Botman. High-profile free agents are also being scrutinised.

The blueprint will remain high calibre players capable of growing with the club with a premium placed on character.

Exactly all I’ve hoped for. Not top 4 coloured big names or players that might have seen their best years or are of the wrong character and mentality.

 

Darwin Nunez would be class. Pretty good at everything.

Need a striker 

Yes but we are going nowhere with Murphy and Almiron because Maximin and Fraser are going to miss many games. So will Wilson. Striker and wide player is a must over everything.

I don’t think Neymar is going to take a year out from the champions league and £200 million for a 30yr old seems excessive but if they want to spend that who am I to argue ? 

 

edit - thinking about it what a waste of money this would be, we havnt got unlimited funds before ffp would catch up with us.  Although obviously bullshit what’s the most u would pay for him.

I agree with this. 
 

I was saying to a mate last night. Whilst you would like another CB to come in and a DM. The starting defence and the midfield options look pretty strong by our current standards, I think. Yet our front 3 is just toothless when it comes to goals and regularly creating chances. 
 

A centre forward that is fit for more than half a season and a wide forward type should be priority and I think they will be. 
 

You’d massively upgrade the team with a GK, DM and two new attacking players.

I think Thursday night showed we need a real DM so Bruno can push further forward, can’t help but feel he’s a bit wasted in that role. If we could get Nunez and the lad from Leverkusen I think we’d be set in the forward positions.

We could contest FFP after how reportedly Everton are being consulted and managed rather than given the expected penalty.

 

Fuck it, bring him in.

Yeah my hope is that we'll spend big on two wide players and a centre forward this summer. 

 

Wilson and ASM gives us a nice group of five battling for three starting spots and then some actual quality on the bench.

 

Wood as emergency third choice striker would be OK for a year or two.

 

Fraser fourth choice wide man.

 

Add a new GK, CB and CM and I'd be very excited to see what the squad could do next season.

 

It's just accepted that we're gonna go balls to the wall and spend a fortune, right? :lol:

I hope so. Considering what we spent in January just to stay up, plus the deals involving big money that didn’t quite come off (Lingard, Botman, Carlos etc). Then if the owners are serious about kicking on. Surely we’ll be spending £100m plus in the summer?

The two players i would go for. Think we have a good chance on Nunez. Who are going to pay what Benfica are asking for? Arsenal and maybe West Ham. Dortmund will be looking for a striker. Diaby may be more difficult. Both would go for £50m-60m. Kamara for "free" and maybe Botman. Close to 1.5 then..
